PRICE LIST
Effective Date: January 1, 2014
Rhody Family Funeral Home takes pride in our professionalism and the compassionate care that we
provide to the families we serve.
The enclosed is a detailed outline of the services and products available at our funeral home, along
with the current associated costs. We would be pleased to discuss the contents of this price list with
you and/or your family, at your convenience, without obligation.
Funeral planning is a part of sensible estate planning. Discussing a prearranged funeral with a funeral
director, gives you an opportunity to ask questions. It allows you to fully understand the services
performed and the costs associated. You will have time to make informed decisions regarding funeral
arrangements, caskets, vaults, cremation urns, as well as your final resting place. We trust that this
information will help serve as a guide for your family and friends.
